What customers say
This family-friendly campground offers great countryside views & a relaxed vibe. Guests love the friendly staff, clean facilities & choice of spots. Fire pits are a hit! While the location & value are praised, some noted uneven ground, noise & a steep access road. Many want to come back.

Great return visit!
Bell tent
Liked This was our second year staying at treacle valley for the English riviera air show, this year we booked a bell tent for an easier set up.
We were sent an image of the tent prior to arrival and it was ready nearly 2 hours early, which was handy as we were only a few mins away so allowed us to set up and spend the evening out! The tent was clean and smelt fresh. The whole site is on a slope other than a few areas, but this gives beautiful views across the valley, and a lovely sunset! The site was quiet, clean (mostly!) and well maintained. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and we were pleased to realize they sold proper coffee in the mornings! Unsure how we missed this last year!
The site is fantastic location for local amenities, beautiful beaches and a great stop for the air show. There are multiple supermarkets/small shops less than 8 minute drive away, and you can be from tent to beach within 15 minutes via car! Our 7 year old enjoyed the little play park and it was a good way for her to make friends. We will be back and would love to stay in the horsebox next time!
Disliked The bin area was very full and quite messy and used sanitary products were just left on the floor in the bathroom- but really this was an issue from other people not respecting the site not the site itself. It’s just something to consider with the site being unmanned most of the time, other peoples behaviour can effect your stay. but you can tell when staff have been because the place is lovely and tidy!

Bell tent
Liked Just got back from a brilliant trip, 5 nights over the May half term, beautiful view its a working farm so you get to wake up to chickens, cows and sheep and the tractor which is not loud, its really nice. We stayed in the yurt, it got hot through the heatwave but a welcomed breeze at night as we were on a hill plus we were out all day. Local shops not far, if driving very easy to get every where, loads of big shops lidl, aldi, home bargains, morrisons etc. we walked a few times and got buses which were about 15min walk you have to go up a hill (31 bus for torquay, golden road avenue takes cash and card). Theres is also the coastal walk too so pack walking shoes or comfy trainers. Shop on site only open in the morning, but we didn't use as we brought everything with us, clean loos and showers, plug socket in ladies above mirror. Kitchen washing at the back and on the right side of the building there is laundry and phone charging facilities. Bins to the right side, Hosts were amazing. Overall a beautiful spacious sight with amazing views. 👏 oh and free WiFi on site too
Disliked No option for electric, but I really didnt mind if it's a priority go somewhere else. Charged my fridge and phone in the van.
